Chapter 167: A Guiding Light for You
The reason why Liu Zelai shook his head was because he felt that Xiao Fei's words were a bit too big. Lewen Novel www. しwχs520。 com
There's nothing wrong with being forward-thinking.
However, it is not the same if you are so ambitious.
Hanmo Book Planning Company has only just been established, and it is not comparable to the large state-owned publishing houses that have existed for decades.
The output value exceeded 10 million in one year, how difficult it is!
You know, a medium-sized publishing house now has an annual output value of only a few million, right?
As a well-known newspaper in the province, the Central Plains Evening News has only reached 10 million yuan in annual output value!
Hanmo culture relies on these few people now, and the yard will reach 10 million in a year, and the possibility is really almost nothing!
It is true that young people have momentum, but they are afraid of rushing too much, making the mistake of being impatient and rash, and they are bent on making fatal mistakes if they want to produce results quickly.
But Liu Ze came to see Xiao Fei and asked himself in front of the employees, but he didn't say what he thought in public, he wanted to maintain the authority of the boss.
Even if you have any questions, you still wait for the meeting to end, and when you get to the office, it's not too late to close the door.
"Mr. Xiao, I don't have any problems, but I have something to do, and I will report to you later." Liu Zelai nodded at Xiao Fei and said.
"Alright then!"
Xiao Fei also saw that Liu Zelai didn't want to say it at the meeting.
He thought, presumably Liu Zelai thought that what he said just now was too full and too big, and it was not so easy to achieve. It's better to talk about this matter.
Xiao Fei also said about it, and after two more sentences, he took out his two manuscripts and handed them to the two editors. Tell them to enter the electronic manuscript first, and edit and proofread it at the same time.
After Liu Zelai finished speaking, he also said a few words and arranged the work.
Then, the two went to the general manager's office.
Liu Zelai made a cup for Xiao Fei. The two of them sat down on the couch.
"Xiao Fei, I think what you just said is a bit too full, the company's yards reach 10 million in a year, this is very difficult!"
Liu Zelai pondered for a moment and said: "Even if your book "Fish Walking on Land" can sell 300,000 copies in a year, and the yard can reach 3 million, but. There are too few bestsellers like this, and you probably don't know that Hexi Literature and Art Publishing House publishes more than 100 kinds of books every year, and it would be very good to have one that sells more than 100,000 copies. The vast majority of books sold are less than 10,000 copies, and some can't even sell a few hundred copies, so they can only be stacked in the warehouse after printing, which becomes a heavy burden for publishing houses. ”
"We are a private company, and without the support of the state, we have to bear all the costs and expenses by ourselves, which also determines that we will launch any book projects before we launch. You must not act hastily, and if the operation fails, the losses will be quite heavy. We can't afford to fail! ”
Liu Zelai lowered his voice and said his opinions to Xiao Fei with a sincere face.
"So, I think, let's take a small step, don't set the goal so big, and try to be as reasonable as possible, what do you say?" Liu Zelai finally concluded.
Liu Zelai is so cautious. Xiao Fei said that he understood very much.
The long-term blueprints that I just said at the meeting sounded to many people. That's like the Arabian Nights. Breaking 10 million in a year, is it as simple as two mouths touching each other?
Now a company of 10 million people. That's a big company!
A state-owned factory with several thousand employees has an annual output value of only 30 or 20 million.
How can you, a book planning company that has just opened, have an output value of more than 10 million yuan in one year?
The lights don't turn on.
People don't know what to do.
Xiao Fei decided to wake up Liu Zelai, his partner is smart enough, but his vision is still limited by the times and not broad enough.
Xiao Fei smiled and said, "Teacher Liu, what do you think of my reputation in China now?" ”
Liu Ze said: "With the recent round of hype, your fame is still quite large, not to mention a household name, but in many cities in China, many people must know you." ”
"Who is the best seller of books in China now?" Xiao Fei asked again.
The jumps in these two questions are not ordinary, Liu Zelai scratched his head, a little puzzled, but still thought about it and replied: "Chen Zhongzhong and Yu Qiuyu." ”
Mr. Chen Zhongzhong's Bailuyuan has been selling very well in recent years since it was published by the People's Publishing House in 1993, with sales of at least 200,000 copies every year.
And Yu Qiuyu, not to mention, a cultural journey is crazy.
"Why do their books sell well?" Xiao Fei asked the third question.
"Naturally, the quality of the work is high and the reader's recognition is high, so it sells well." Liu Zelai replied.
"After Yu Qiuyu's new book "Notes on Mountain Residence" was launched last year, how did it sell?" Xiao Fei asked again.
"It's not very clear, the first printing is at least more than 500,000 copies, and the market response is still very good." Liu Zelai was very confused, and Xiao Fei asked why this was.
Xiao Fei said: "I think that with the popularity of the harvest novel special issue, now I have a lot of market appeal, and my new book will definitely attract the attention of many readers, so, whether you believe it or not, Mr. Liu, my new book "Bright Sword" must have good sales, do you think I am right?" ”
Fame drives sales.
The size of the fan base determines the success of an author's new book.
This is a well-known fact.
Looking at later generations, every time Han Han and Guo Jingming launch a new book, it is a first printing of hundreds of thousands, and it sells very quickly.
This is driven by the star effect.
Xiao Fei firmly believes that "Fish Walking on Land" will bring him rave reviews, and he will have a large number of fans in China.
With this as a backing, as long as your follow-up works are of high quality, it will not be a problem for them to become popular.
With so much inventory in his head, it is no longer a problem to rely on his own works to support the tens of millions of yards of Hanmo culture every year.
What's more, do you have other big ideas?
Hearing this, Liu Zelai somewhat understood that Xiao Fei wanted to rely on his own popularity to launch his own works in Hanmo Packaging, in order to boost sales.
He hasn't watched "Bright Sword" yet, and he doesn't know what the quality is.
Liu Zelai knows that relying on popularity, it is indeed possible to sell more books, but if the quality of the book is not good and the reputation in the market is bad, then the follow-up will be very troublesome.
There is another question: creation is a very hard thing, even if a person is talented, writing two books a year is also a god, right?
Hanmo Culture only relies on Xiao Fei's creation to reach the height that Xiao Fei wants to achieve, and the possibility is very small.
"I believe your words, but, Xiao Fei, relying only on your own works, it is estimated that you will not be able to support the business development of our company, right?" Liu Zelai pointed out his doubts.
Xiao Fei shook his head with a smile and said, "Mr. Liu, I never said that I would use my own works to support the development of our company!" I also have a holistic view of this. ”
He took out a document from his bag and handed it to Liu Zelai.
"Take a look, read it, and tell me what you think." Xiao Fei said.
Liu Zelai took it and took a look, but it was a book planning plan.
Flipping it open and taking a closer look, Liu Zelai was shocked, this thing suddenly opened his mind, made him feel suddenly enlightened, and the road ahead suddenly brightened. (To be continued)
